With stocks reduced, and plans revised, relations between states with nuclear arsenals have been transformed after the Cold War. However, Patrick Morgan argues that these changes have not been accompanied by great advances in our knowledge of whether and how deterrence works. He accordingly explores the state of deterrence theory and its continuing relevance under conditions of nuclear proliferation, collective security organizations, and a revolution in military affairs.

Authoritative study of deterrence after the Cold War

Author is a leading name. Previous book Deterrence: A Conceptual Analysis (Sage 1983), was extremely influential
